With less than two months until Dishonored’s release, we want players to prepare their weapons of revenge. No, I’m not talking about our website, I’m talking about the rig PC players intend to play the game on.

Below you’ll find both the recommended and minimum system requirements for the game.

Looks like it’ll be full AA/AF for me then, yay for not over the top recommended system requirements! \o/ Also, I appreciate it that these are released before the game, ánd that they include recommended specs. From the bottom of my heart, I so much hate it when publishers only release minimum specs, to me it’s like they’re saying: “Here is what you at least need, just buy the game, and no refund, we don’t care if it runs well, we just want your money…”

I’m getting the feeling you didn’t get the point of my reply… I like to know if a game runs fully on my computer, with all settings cranked up, else I won’t bother until I have upgraded. If a publisher puts only minimum specs on the box, I won’t know if it’ll run well (unless minimum specs are so low, that recommended can’t be demanding), and I end up not buying the game. But it seems publishers hope that by not putting recommended specs on the box people will buy the game anyway as they just ‘hope for the best’. I find this to be very annoying.

3.6ghz 2500K, GTX560Ti here, so I am looking forward to some 1080p@60fps glory. I wish the game was on greenmangaming already, I want to preorder (and I refuse to preorder on steam, with their euro=dollar prices).

Looks like it, but sometimes companies just include the popular OS that most would recognize. If it truly wont run on XP, yet it’s a DX9 title, then it’s probably a deliberate action to require what’s probably not really required at all ~except that they want it to be.

Really still no high specs from Beth. Soft. Oh well. At least my machine will have a breeze running it. A bit disapointing with the DirectX 9 if that is all it’s goin to utilize (not that you wrote that directly). So many more options and graphical goodies in 10 and 11.

Hard take a look at the stpecs again. The CPU requirements aren’t truely higher in the minimum. Notice the number of cores stated. As this will probably support some mulitcore features, having 4 cores does mean you have more power than the duocore specified.

We’ll see. I would be really surprised, if those were the right system requirements. Minimum spec graphics card and memory are the same as recommended spec? More memory required for minimum spec than a 32-bit windows can address? The notes say, that the game is “enhanced for 64-bit”, not that it requires 64-bit. Must be a sloppy copypaste.

Do we have full support to remap the full keyboard, which includes arrow-keys for movement, enter, backspace, ins, del, home, end, numpad, etc., or it will be like the fail Sleeping Dogs?
I can’t play using wasd and for the same reason I can’t bind movement on numpad, only arrowkeys.

gstaff – will this game run on Windows XP? There are lots of varying stats out there. Here’s just one of them – 12% of Windows users still use Windows XP. Are you going to lose 10% of your PC sales on this game?

I should clarify the stat, since it’s my own. It’s actually 15% of people visiting a Skyrim website (thus Bethesda fans) about console codes for PC (thus, likely mostly PC gamers), who used Windows to visit the site, use Windows XP. The demographic is over 150,000 unique people over the past 7 months, consisting of mostly people in the US and then Canada, Australia, Germany and France, and then all the other countries.

For games like Dihonored I built a new PC, so I don’t have to worry about the OS and Graphics for some years.
Hopefully in a few years we will see a lot of games done with GNU/Linux version too, probably main version. In my experience games done with Linux in mind works a lot better in Windows.

Uh, there is no such thing as a 512mb 460, nor a 512mb 5850 – the lowest amount of VRAM available on those is 768mb and 1gb respectively. Please can we have the real requirements, preferably with graphics cards that actually exist?

The promo poster for Dishonored shows that the marketing department at Bethesda(I’m looking at you Tweet Hines) lacks any creativity or imagination. Ask yourself: Have I seen this poster before? Answer: Yes you have, they used the exact same poster for Skyrim.

I can’t wait for this game to come out. At last, a game that I can play without having to kill a ton of people. And the magic powers is icing on the cake. Ok, so is the artistic environment. Not sure if I will upgrade my PC or if I will take my newphews advice and buy an Xbox.
